< strong>More targeted at the latissimus dorsi muscles: dumbbell rowing with elastic bands!
Dumbbell rowing is the most popular training exercise in the gym. It helps us build strong back muscles
Dumbbell rowing is a very skillful training movement. You need to pay attention to a lot of details during the movement, such as the stability of the trunk mentioned earlier. , as well as activating the scapula and so on. Many details require a lot of effort to study
We have introduced in previous articles:
In order to better target the latissimus dorsi muscles, you can try the arc motion trajectory!
Traditional dumbbell rowing is a horizontal pulling action. The normal movement trajectory should be vertically upward, so that it mainly affects the middle and back (Trapezius and rhomboids) dominant
Drawing an arc motion trajectory can help you lengthen the latissimus dorsi better, so that the latissimus dorsi has a complete range of motion (the muscle contracts from the longest to the shortest)
However, it is easy to lose muscle tension when lowering the dumbbells in an arc. At this time, you can try adding an elastic band to assist!
As shown in the picture:
In Tie an elastic band diagonally under the body, then put the dumbbell and elastic band together, grab the dumbbell, and then perform dumbbell rowing!
Using elastic bands can better enhance the tension of the latissimus dorsi during dumbbell rowing. When the dumbbell is lowered, the upper arms will extend in front of the body, forming an arc motion trajectory. At the same time, because one end is fixed with an elastic band , can keep your latissimus dorsi tense at all times
Notes:< /p>
As you pull back, keep your upper arms close to your torso and tighten your latissimus dorsi!
Keep your torso stable, push your butt back, and use your hips and lower limbs to support your body to avoid excessive pressure on your lower back!
